geopoint support for nodes and ways

Any information when geopoint support for OSM nodes is coming? I'd like to mark OSM nodes that have wikidata ID specified. Currently, the coordinates must be specified in wikidata.


In addition, it'd be superb if geopoint markers could be used for ways too. For instance, buildings can be mapped with ways instead of nodes in OSM. But one might want to mark them with symbols in mapframe. It shouldn't matter whether the object in OSM is a way or a node. For instance, the White House https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/238241022 is mapped as a way but one might want to mark it with town-hall icon in a map. An implementation idea: The coordinates of the marker could be the center of the smallest rectangle that encapsulates all the nodes in the way. That is, the coordinates are the mean of the minimum and maximum of the latitudes and longitudes. This should be simple and work decently enough.
